"It's both surreal and veridical, whimsical and graphic, straightforward
and sly."
Charlotte O'Sullivan; Up to No Good; The Independent on Sunday (London,
UK); Sep 29, 2002.

"If split-brain patients are given such tests, the left hemisphere
generates many false reports. But the right brain does not; it provides
a much more veridical account."

Scientific American (Washington, DC); Jul 1, 1998.

"Post No Bills." Have you ever seen a wall with that notice pasted on it?
That reminds me of books, prospectuses, and annual reports with a "blank"
page bearing the text: "This page intentionally left blank." In the same

I've selected a bunch of whimsical, odd, and fanciful words for us to
examine this week.
